Hey Seattle (?)


I noticed you quoted me. I guess that was little much.

Sounds like you learned the lesson a little _too_ well but then so did I albeit in the other direction...

The main problem here is that many, many people before you have X posted. Some out of ignorance (in the true sense of the word) it's true but that still means they did not take the time to read the rules or at least think about what they were doing. e.g. the law says 'Ignorance is no excuse." and consequently wasted a lot of time for a lot of people

I've done thousands of hours for free and there is _nothing_ more frustrating than spending hours on a project for free (or on spec) only to find out it was wasted.

I understand the logic that posting the same problem many places may help you get a solution. Sorry if we came off rude, I certainly didn't mean to and I don't believe anybody else meant to either. (I'll check the other sites <grin>)

Perhaps every forum should have an intial expkanation of 'Why Not X Post' as the first thing you see. Would have saved you some grief, for sure.

So if you accept this in lieu of apology -from me for sure and I presume most, if not all the others, what's wrong with what I posted? Or do you need help or just need to see the code (or both).

Please see attached and post back...
